When we last saw the Brew Crew, Kershaw was shutting them out over 8 IP, with 12 strikeouts. Since then, the Brewers have gone 5-14 and the Dodgers have gone 5-13. Both teams stand at 17-25 and are the cellar dwellers of their respective divisions. (I bet the Brewers miss the Astros right now.)

So, is there anything worth watching in this matchup of dreadful teams? Of course, and it's the same thing that's been worth watching all season: Clayton F'ing Kershaw. Every one of his starts is appointment television now, as it should be.

I guess it's also worth watching to see if this game has any impact on the Don Mattingly rumor mill. He's still employed...for now.
